Research progress of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy / 天津医药

ABSTRACT

Persistent supraventricular or ventricular tachycardias can cause ventricular enlargement,decreased cardiac function and eventually lead to heart failure and sudden death. Such a type of clinical syndrome is called tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy(TIC).Therefore,in view of the reversibility of TIC,the early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are particularly important for this special type of cardiomyopathy. In this paper, the research progress of clinical classification, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic points, clinical manifestations and treatment strategies of TIC are systematically summarized.
